13 mar 2019 · The abducens nerve is the sixth paired cranial nerve. It has a purely somatic motor function – providing innervation to the lateral rectus muscle. In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the abducens nerve – its anatomical course, motor functions and clinical relevance.
21 lis 2022 · The abducens nerve functions to innervate the ipsilateral lateral rectus muscle and partially innervate the contralateral medial rectus muscle (at the level of the nucleus - via the medial longitudinal fasciculus).
